Tyson Stelzer, Wine Taste Weekly, January 2012
"The Burgundy rule is to buy the grand crus in the (more affordable) lesser vintages and the lower-tier wines in the great vintages. 2009 was certainly the latter, producing the best Marchand & Burch Bourgogne yet. It accurately reflects the earthy, ferrous notes of its Marsannay and Pommard origins, with fine, dried herb complexity over a subtle red fruit background. Give is a vigorous decant to awaken its red cherry fruits." Drink 2012-2015

"This is your entry-level Burgundy wine. No new oak is used here; after 18 months in older oak it is further aged in tank. Lovely floral, herbal note with a distinct minerally steeliness. The palate is firmish and finely crafted, with nice subtle floral fruit intensity. It has plenty of power and a long, persistent finish. Perfect with pork sausage and truffle mash."

"Medium to full red/purple; very good colour for its age. Sweet raspberry, strawberry aromas. Excellent fresh, clean, bright, undeveloped and well-made wine. Pristine, with light, tight and rather firm tannins. All bodes well for ageing. Drink 2012 - 2020."
